Yakuza 6: The Song of Life Wiki Guide

Mahjong

Mahjong is the most complicated Mini-Game of Yakuza 6. Its tutorial should be read carefully, but even that tutorial admits the game can be overwhelming for new players. No PSN Trophies relate specifically to playing Mahjong or playing well, aside from one trophy related to trying out every mini-game in Yakuza 6 regardless of the result.

Full strategy on how to play Mahjong (and play it well) is beyond the scope of this wiki page. There are many such pages one can find with a Google search, but be aware that are multiple forms of Mahjong. For Yakuza 6, it uses the standard 4-player ruleset with some selectable variation. There is a form of Mahjong in which one matches tiles similar to the game dominos (sometimes called Mahjong Solitaire), but that version is not in Yakuza 6. For a neophyte, it could be very loosely compared to poker or gin rummy in that you're trying to form a specific hand from your current tiles (rather than cards) and any tiles your opponents discard.

Yakuza 6 features two locations for Mahjong, both of which are in Kamurocho. One is on the 4th floor of a building on the west side of town near the New Serena bar, while the other is in the basement of the same building with the Nyan Nyan Café on the east side of town. There is no location in Onomichi. The west side location has easy- and medium-difficulty tables, while the east location has medium- and hard-difficulty tables.

If played well in Yakuza 6, Mahjong offers some huge yen returns for a fairly modest buy-in. If you're not an expert player in Mahjong, it's generally best to stick with Clan Creator or Spearfishing to grind for cash if you're short.
